Walter Brennan - Boll Weevil lyrics

The boll weevil am a little black bug

Come from Mexico they say

Came all the way from Texas

Lookin' for a place to stay

(Just lookin' for a home)

Just lookin' for a home.

The first time I seen a boll weevil

He was sittin' on a square

The next time I see a boll weevil

He had his whole darn family there

(Just lookin' for a home)

Just lookin' for a home.

The farmer took the boll weevil

And he throwed him in the red hot sand

The boll weevil told the farmer

I'll stand it like a man.

(This'll be my home)

This'll be my home.

The boll weevil took the cotton

The merchant took the rest

All that's left for the farmer's wife

Is one old torn up dress. ?

(It's full of holes)

It's full of holes.

If any one should ask you

Who it was who lerarned you this song

It was just an old farmer they called old willie

Now that old fellow's gone

(He found a home)

He found a home.

(He found a home.)

(He found a home.)

(He found a home.)

(He found a home.)

(He found a home...)
